Holy Thursday commemorates the last supper of Jesus and his disciples, in which he (according to the gospels) washed his disciples' feet, as a sign of service, and broke bread, calling it his body. It also commemorates his agony in the garden, as he reflected on the death that he knew was coming.

In some churches it is known as Maundy Thursday.
